This release does not overwrite the original userdefs.h but creates a new usedefs_org.h as a reference.

New features in userdefs.h:#define USE_WD
If this line is added, the watchdog is enabled. If not present the watchdog is disabled

#TIME_OFFSET 0
The number in this line is used to shift the clock of the arduino in seconds (positive or negative) With this parameter you can shift the time of upload to all websites to prevent all users uploading at the same time. Any integer between -150 and +150 is allowed
(a larger number will work but corrupts the timestamp to pvoutput)

Configuration of exosite is done in separate exosite.h file. A sample is in
exosite_org.h

Version 11

In this version the automatic upload to mindergas.nl is included
Also it is possible to send data to exosite.com
The response from the sites is now readable to make debugging easier.
It is possible to reset all counters to fake a new day in case the data is not valid.
The hardware documentation of version 10 is still valid.
New software documentation can be found here:Arduino Solar Meter Software Manual V11.pdf

Version 9

This version is an extension of version 8.5.
Additional types of sensors can be added.
An optical sensor can be made from a LED and a phototransistor to monitor gas or water usage.
A double optical sensor can monitor your Ferraris meter in two directions. The software uses an autocalibration routine so that even hard to detect ferraris discs can be measured.
The current temperature can be retrieved from a nearby weatherstation. The software uses the xml.buienradar.nl site for this.
If you monitor gas usage and the temperature, this software can also calculate the isolation factor of your house. The lower this factor, the less gas is needed at a certain outside temperature, the better the house is isolated.
The documentation for this version is in the next two documents:Arduino Solar Meter Hardware Manual.pdfArduino Solar Meter Software Manual.pdf

Version 8

Hardware

The first version ran on an Arduino duemillenova. In the meantime the program is also tested on Arduino Uno and mega2560
To connect to the web and use the SD card for storage, a standard Arduino ethernetshield with W5100 chip is used. If you have a clone that also uses this chip, there is no problem. If your shield has another chip, you will need another library and probably
a few changes in the program to calls to the library.

Environment

Arduino IDE 1.0.2
windows 7, 32 bit

Basic software

The software can be downloaded from the downloads tab. It is a zip file that must be extracted to a local folder. The folder name must be the same (case sensitive) as the name of the main program, in this case "Solarmeter".
All files in the sub-folder "libraries" must be copied to the "libraries" folder of the arduino IDE.
